//  FEAR \\

THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD. DO YOU BELIEVE THE WHOLE BOOK ?  

FEAR IS OF THE DEVIL  JESUS SAID:  

IN John 10:10 "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. (NKJ)

Fear is not part of the abundant  life.

Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (NKJ)

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

8 It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.  (NKJ)

  GOD SAID TO JOSHUA

Josh 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

IF GOD WAS WITH JOSHUA HE IS WITH YOU AMEN.

  WHAT DOES AMEN MEAN? SO BE IT.  GOD IS NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS.

-  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

Psalms 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [ I will fear no evil; for You are with me; your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. 

HOW HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE READ THE TWENTY THIRD PSALM? ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME WE ALL STARTED BELIEVING WHAT WE PROFESS.

  -  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

Ps 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (NKJ)

-  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

WANT TO BE DELIVERED FROM ALL YOUR FEARS? THE PSALMIST TELLS US HOW. 

Psalms 34: I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 My soul shall make its boast in the LORD; the humble shall hear of it and be glad.

3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.

4 I sought the LORD, and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (NKJ)

  -  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

Psalms 37:8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; do not fret it only causes harm.

Ps 46:1  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

Ps 118:6  The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?

Proverbs 1:33 But whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be secure, without fear of evil." (NKJ)

THIS IS A CURE FOR NERVES 

Prov 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;

6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. (NKJ)

-  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

Prov 3:25 Do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor of trouble from the wicked when it comes;

26 For the LORD will be your confidence, and will keep your foot from being caught. (NKJ)

LOOK AT THIS

Prov 12:25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad. (NKJ)

YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE A DOCTOR FOR MANY $ $ DOLLARS AN HOUR TO FIND OUT WHAT CAUSES DEPRESSION. JUST READ THE WORD OF GOD. RIGHT HERE GOD SAYS ANXIETY CAUSES DEPRESSION. AND IF YOU KEEP READING HIS WORD HE WILL TELL YOU HOW TO HANDLE ANXIETY.

HOW IS YOUR BACKBONE ?

Prov 24:10   If you faint in the day of adversity, your strength is small.

REMEMBER WHAT THE LORD SAYS IN EPHESIANS CHAPTER SIX, "BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT."  

THERE IS A KEY WORD HERE...[HIS  NOT YOURS BUT HIS!!!  

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You. 

-  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

WANT TO HAVE PERFECT PEACE? KEEP YOUR MIND ON THE LORD! 

I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'  

WHO IS WITH YOU? THE  "I am"

Isaiah  54:14 In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you. (NKJ)

LOOK AT WHAT JESUS TOLD THE KIDS

Matthew 6:25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?

26 "Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

27 "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;

29 "and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 "Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

32 "For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (NKJ)

DOCTOR LUKE ALSO CONFIRMED THESE TEACHING OF JESUS IN CHAPTER TWELVE OF HIS BOOK..

Luke 12:25 "And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

ONE VERY IMPORTANT VERSE  WORRYING DOES NOT ADD UP TO ANYTHING....  

WORRY DOES NOT EMPTY TOMORROW OF ITS SORROW; IT EMPTIES TODAY OF ITS STRENGTH.

Romans 8:15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." (NKJ)

Philippians 4:6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;

-  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

GOD SAYS BRING IT TO ME.. AND YOU WILL GET THIS....

Phil 4:7 and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus

8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy-- meditate on these things. (NKJ)

WE CAN HAVE A NEGATIVE THOUGHT THAT MAY BE TRUE. BUT IS IT PURE, LOVELY AND OF A GOOD REPORT?? GOD SAYS OUR MEDITATION IS TO BE ON THESE THINGS...

-  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

GOD HAS TOLD US BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT THE DEVIL CAN'T READ YOUR MIND.. SO WHAT DOES THAT TELL US? ONE WAY HE KNOWS IF HIS THOUGHTS ARE STICKING IS IF YOU MOUTH IT. SO WE MUST WATCH OUR TONGUE AND NOT SPEAK THE THINGS THE DEVIL SAYS BUT SPEAK GODS WORD. SO WHAT DOES GOD SAY?

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind

1 Peter 5:7  casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (NKJ)

-  ><>  -  ><>  -   -  <><  -  <><  -

SAY THIS ---- LORD I CAST THIS CARE OVER ON YOU. NOW I AM GOING TO EAT, SLEEP ETC AND TOMORROW DO THE SAME THING BECAUSE I HAVE THE PEACE THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING. IF YOUR TROUBLED AGAIN GO BACK IN PRAYER AND REPEAT IT AGAIN FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT. THEN YOUR MIND GIVES PLACE TO THE WORD INSTEAD OF WORRY. THEN YOUR SPIRIT BEGINS TO DOMINATE YOU....

I John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 

MAKE A DECISION NOT TO BE TORMENTED. SAY THIS IS YOUR WORD LORD. YOU SAID IN YOUR WORD THAT YOU CAN'T LIE.....

Psalms 119:89 Forever, O LORD, your word is settled in heaven.  (NKJ)        PRAISE THE LORD !

So be at peace, when the enemy tries to bring in fear cast him out, speak my word, let him know who you are, for you are a child of Almighty God and your angels are charged round about you to watch over you, to protect you, to keep you safe. Just speak up, speak up etc

Fear is false evidence of things appearing real.

Don't let your worries get the best of you; Remember, Moses started out as a basket case.

WORRY DOES NOT EMPTY TOMORROW OF ITS SORROW; IT EMPTIES TODAY OF ITS STRENGTH.
